HOW TO BREW POUR OVER ON THE

Hario V60

Pour over is our go-to brew method at home—and the V60 is the one we keep reaching for. We love it for the clean, crisp cup it delivers every time. The whole brew takes about 3 minutes, roughly half the time of a Chemex. That’s largely due to the V60’s interior grooves, which reduce suction and let the water flow more freely through the coffee bed. Faster brew, same great clarity.

1. Setup
Set up your V60 dripper on the Hario glass server and place everything on your scale.

 

2. Heat Water
Heat water to about 204°F. If you don’t have a temperature-controlled kettle, boil water and let it cool for 1–3 minutes before brewing.

 

3. Prepare Filter
Fold your V60 filter along the crease, place it in the dripper, and rinse it with hot water. Discard the rinse water.

 

4. Measure & Grind Coffee
Weigh out 32 grams of coffee and grind it to a medium-coarse consistency. Adjust grind size if your brew time varies significantly from 3:50.

 

5. Create Coffee Well
Add grounds to the V60 and use a small spoon or wooden stirrer to create a shallow “well” in the center by stirring gently in a circular motion.

 

6. Bloom
Tare your scale and pour 65 grams of water slowly over the grounds, starting at the center and moving outward in a spiral to evenly saturate. This technique applies to the first two pours.

 

7. First Pour
At 50 seconds, pour steadily for about 20 seconds until reaching 150 grams, then let the coffee rest for 10 seconds.

 

8. Second Pour
Pour again at the same pace until you reach 300 grams, then rest for another 10 seconds.

 

9. Final Pour & Stir
Pour until the total weight reaches 500 grams. Gently stir the coffee bed once clockwise and once counterclockwise to even it out and dislodge stuck grounds, being careful not to disturb the bed too much. Use small circular motions centered on the coffee bed during this pour.

 

10. Enjoy
Pour your brewed coffee into a cup, savor the aroma, and enjoy!
